  We ate this with spaghetti with ragu (Bolognese). Pretty good combination with the home made, long cooked sauce. Wine has enough body, enough acidity to balance the food, but not too much. Trying to decipher the aroma's with Le Nez du Vin we got raspberry, blackberry and pepper as dominant, with more subtle tones of cherry, leather, musk, and a tiny trace of almond. The winemaker claims cherry and plums.

  Notes of cherry, cassias, blackberry, vanilla, and hints of new leather and wood. Smooth and we'll balanced on the palate. Good viscosity. Acid is present for good paring with a variety of food, without being so pronounced that it becomes unpleasant to simply sip. Decanting brings out more of the leather and earthy notes.
